  2. Forestry Industry • Learning Goal: I am able to describe the common issues that currently exist with Canada’s forestry industry.

  3. Forestry Industry • Canada has the 3rd largest forested area in the world (Russia #1, Brazil #2) • Our forests cover almost half of Canada which is equal to the area of 15 western European countries combined

  4. Canada’s Forests

  5. Canada’s Boreal Forest • What is the Boreal Forest?

  6. Commercial and Non-commercial Forests • Commercial forests: can be logged for profit because the trees grow fast and the forests are near roads, railways and waterways • Non-commercial forests: trees are not cut down because they are too far from transportation networks. It is also too cold for these trees to grow quickly

  7. How trees have changed over time

  8. Furniture of the Past Compared to Today • In the past all furniture was made of solid wood (Oak or Cherry). It was expensive but would last a lifetime!! Today lots of furniture is not made from a solid piece of wood

  9. HEMNES Desk with add-on unit, white stain $425.00

  10. Old School Desk Solid wood desk Classical desk Price:US $2,800.00 / piece

  11. Logging Methods in Canada Clear Cutting • Is the fastest and cheapest method of logging • Loggers remove every tree • When loggers replant trees, the forest grows uniformly • Sometimes loggers do not replant trees or the trees do not grow successfully

  12. Shelterwood Logging • Clear cut the old growth areas of the forest • Seed bearing trees are left to re-grow the trees

  13. Selective Logging • Cut down only the old trees of a specific size, type and/or quality • Is the least damaging to the forest • Is the most expensive method of forestry • Rick Mercer and Selective Cutting

  14. Forestry Issues • What if we don't replant the trees? What will happen to the forests or the pollution levels? • What about forest fires? Do they have any positive impact on the environment?

  15. Making Connections Textbook Assignment: Forestry • Chapter 25(Page 309) • Define all key terms from page 309 into your notes • Summarize and draw a diagram in your notes for clear cutting, shelter wood cutting, and selective cutting • On page 317 answer # 1, 3, 5 • Briefly explain the current environmental threats to Canada’s forests • How are fires a positive and negative function for Canada’s forests? • Using your completed note from the past 2 periods, write at least 3 possible test questions. They could be in the form of multiple choice or questions or they could be long answer questions. Be sure to construct an answer sheet too. Hand this in to Mr. Meyer by the end of the period!!!!!
